The time is now...

Some days I feel like the same day is happening over and over again - you
know that feeling don't you? Same shit, just a different day.

I roll out of bed in the morning at the same time every day (give or take a
few minutes) and wish that I could snuggle back down and sleep for another hour
or two. I have my shower, make lunches for the day, eat my breakfast, dry my
hair, makeup on and I’m out the door within an hour.

On a good day it takes me fifty minutes in peak hour traffic to get to work,
other days and the traffic can be a right royal pain in the butt. Let’s be
honest, that length of time in a car surrounded by hundreds of impatient people
is never fun. Luckily I allow plenty of time for driving, but additional time
spent in traffic jams infringes on my morning writing time.

Routine can be a killer and yet at the same time it can help keep us
balanced and moving forward. I guess the key here is not running on the same
path day in and day out, we need routine with enough variation so that we’re
not digging ourselves a rut.

My rut is starting to get edges to it, in other words it’s getting bigger.
This is a common phenomenon which occurs every now and again. When this happens
I have to climb out of my rut and dust myself off, then forge a slightly
altered path.

I definitely need some variety or change. A bit of a shakeup and a nice
change if that’s at all possible. I’ve had the years of drama and mayhem with
my boys, so I’m over the bad change, and the drama filled moments - can I put
in a request for nice changes to my routine.

If anyone has a direct line to the universe, can you tell them I’m ready and
waiting and that I’m a bit over the boredom and monotony. I’ve lost sight of
the fun things that keep me buzzing along. In actual fact I think I’m way overdue
for a holiday.

The truth is we all need things to look forward to, so what are you looking
forward to at the moment?
